The kit ships with a dedicated helmet strap for vented bike helmets. However, I found this to come loose quite easily when your head is being flung around as you are constantly looking around.

I found the adhesive pads and mounts to work much better. The downside of this solution is that you will have a fixed GoPro mount on your helmet. My garage is full of bike helmets, so I always have other options. The mount is not that bulky either.

One criticism of having the camera mounted on your head is weight. Before mounting the camera I didn’t think this would be an issue, the GoPro Fusion weighs just 226g, though on your head, being flung around with a higher centre of gravity, the weight does become noticeable after about an hour.

In summary, for long distance touring on open roads, [I’ll use the v1 setup]((/blog/2019/diy-street-view-bike-tours/). For anything off-road (non-tarmacked surface) I’ll use the v2 setup described in this post.
